Document Summary
Biol 240w ex 3 - possible fib terms. Apical meristem - embryonic tissue in the tips of roots and shoots that supply cells for growth in length. Avirulent - a pathogen that cannot kill a host plant. Axillary bud - a meristematic structure that has the potential to form a stem or a branch; appears in the angle between the stem and the leaf. Carpel - flower structure that consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. Callus - a mass of dividing, undifferentiated plant cells. Collenchyma cell - a flexible plant cell type with unevenly thickened cell walls that provides plants parts support without restraint. Ground tissue system - plant tissues between the epidermis and vascular tissue, that provide storage, photosynthesis, and support. Herbivory - an interaction where an herbivore eats a part of a plant. Hypersensitive response - a plant"s localized defense to a pathogen. Internode- segment of plant stem between points where leaves are attached.
